I once went to the USA and a guy asked me,
"What is a+B?"
I could answer him.
What was my answer?

The title is a clue
Note: The title is appropriate, and B is capitalized on purpose.

a+B is

a is 97 and B is 66, when refered to by their decimal code in the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) encoding.

a+B equals:
974366, using ASCII codes for a(97), +(43) and B(66)

Well tried. But it is wrong. Why did you concatenate them? and also, why did you add 43?

It's the ASCII code for '+' and in the USA that's how they think. 9766 would also be valid.
